    I have 6gb of ram but only 4.96 is usable

    Some of the RAM might be allocated to graphics if your using integrated graphics.

    You should be able to adjust how much is assigned from within the BIOS of the computer.

    If your system is using a dedicated video card.

    Does the entire 8 GB show up in the BIOS? Learn how to load your BIOS and check:

    If it does...

    press Windows key + R

    Type: msconfig

    Hit Enter

    Go to the Boot tab > Advanced options > make sure Maximum memory is unchecked

    Click OK then click Apply then OK

    The GPU part of the APU is likely using up the 1Gb..

    Uh, is this supposed to happen? Only 5GB of 6GB of RAM usable? :p
    Would it be more convenient for me, if I could, to change that?

    It is totally normal and my APU A8-6600K uses some of my RAM up as well. And you can't change any of the memory usage,, as far as I understand.

    Yes.. Well.. you'll have 15Gb usable. Which is a lot, IMO. Right now you have 5Gb and that should be fine for normal usage.
